And since it's nearly summer, it just got me in the mood. Favorites here include the printed maxi dress, beaded floral necklace, and the kooky flamingo tote. How funny, eh?

Fashion Target: 4 Years of Missing You

Well my friends, it's been four, very long years since my wonderful, beautiful Mother has been gone. I miss her more that I can ever explain, but I feel as though I can only do one thing, and that is remember the good times everyday as much as I can.

My most favorite accessory that I have aand cherish is my teardrop necklace. This lovely necklace actually holds the ashes of my mom so she gets to be with me, next to my heart, every day. I've found a few images through the past year of me wearing this.













Although these are only a couple of pictures, I actually wear this almost every other day. I may never have her back, but at least I can be close to her :)

Daily Fashion Show: Garden Girl

True to my roots, I love wearing floral-printed anything. Seriously love this dress, it's so light and airy, perfect for if the weather decides to warm up on a regular basis!





This belt is the perfect touch. I love the little bow applique on the front and that is made of straw. It's both girlie and fun, exactly like me!



Love our newly painted banister on our balcony? Haha, they missed some spots :)

Daily Fashion Show: Free as a Bird

So I must really like birds this week, maybe because it's Spring, or maybe because it's elegant. Not sure why, but I am seriously loving all of the bird printed things I've been seeing lately.



I saw this top at Anthropologie and just melted. The one thing I've learned about that store is if you see something that you like, you have to buy it. Otherwise, it will be gone and won't go on clearance. I'm telling the truth here!



Look how great this top is up close. I loved the print, but what sold me was the beading on a few of the birds. How seriously sweet is that?



Now, it may be Spring, but I seriously can't wait until Summer carries me away. Maybe one of these birds will!

I absolutely love every piece on this list, but my favorites are the maxi skirt that has a sort of inkblot bird print, the feather hair extensions, and the Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag. I acutally almost bought this bag months ago and still wonder why I haven't?! It's simply divine! So fashionistas, don't hold back with fashion this week, be free as a bird!

Daily Fashion Show: Gorg in Orange

Who says nothing rhymes with orange? I say gorg does and that's cause I am today. I chose to pair my bright coral-colored dress with a butterfly printed scarf (worn as a head wrap) and bright purple socks.



I also thought wearing a white cardigan would brighten up this ensemble even more. Even though the weather hasn't been holding up, it doesn't mean I can't dress the part!



Someone at work today told me that I looked like Lucille Ball. She said "I hope you don't take offense to it." My reply was "hell no, Lucy is hot!" When I thought about it, we acutally have a ton in common. We are both red heads, we both tend to wear clothes from the 50's, and the best part, we both have Latino lovers. Hehe! Hope you all had a great start to the week!
